Rio Olympics: Joy

Joy! Team USA women gymnasts were beyond joyful after Simone Biles finished her floor exercise. She only need a 7.1 score (incredibly low for gymnastics) but instead provided her teammates with a 15.3. Her score and those of all of her teammates meant that Team USA repeated their Team Gold in Women's Gymnastics. Congratulations to Madison Kocian, Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas and Laurie Hernandez!

This is a small watercolors and ink painting measuring just 4"x6" and was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com. This painting and all of my Olympics artwork will be available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.
